Ust-Sakla

The name of the village comes from the Tatar word "usak", which means "aspen", according to the stories from earlier there were mainly aspen forests in this place. In subsequent years, the village was renamed under the Russian word "Ust-Sakla" - the mouth of the Sakla River, but the river was called and is called Akshel.

After the defeat in 1259, the Mari people dispersed all over the world. In the settlement of Osinok, where at that time Russians lived in three huts in the amount of 4 people (women were not considered at that time), the Mari, consisting of 3 families and one widow (from whom the genus of the present Isenekov family came), came from Mamadysh province - now Kirovskaya area ^[2] .

A few years later two villages were already founded: Yakshiyal (upper end) and Teppar (lower end).

Yakshiyal consisted of state peasants who had bigger and better lands, and were exempted from many taxes. Until 1917, it was founded at the expense of two prosperous residents of the village of Ust-Sakla, a 3-grade school — younger, half-older, older. 13 teachers left the village of Ust-Sakla, one of them, the oldest teacher, whose experience was 43 years, was awarded the Order of Lenin, Vera Arsenievna Isenekova, now she is not alive.

The Mari writer Isenekov Valentin Borisovich was born in the village of Ust-Sakla, and recently, until his sudden death, he worked at the editorial office of the newspaper Yamde Liy (Be Ready) in the Mari Republic in Yoshkar-Ola. He has released several stories and poems.
